You could just select the accent you want to learn. I assume the purpose of such a tool would be for 2nd language speakers to learn to imitate English spoken in a specific area and/or social/cultural class.

And while yeah, there might be multiple “correct” way to pronounce the same word mixing Scottish, Midwestern, Irish, RP etc. English in your every sentence wouldn’t be ideal.

Yep! You're totally correct. The reason why I made this tool, was to help me (a non-native English speaker) to understand how I sound in English. The next feature is to add some tips on how to increase your score, or how to pronounce clearer depending on your choice (UK, US, AUS)
